A report by Greenpeace examining Unilever's complicity in the plastics crisis and its power to solve it. The report compares Unilever's public statements on sustainability with the reality of its business practices, from its production of single-use sachets to its false solutions. The report concludes by calling on Unilever to spearhead an industry-wide movement for reusable packaging and support a strong Global Plastics Treaty.
